In today’s MotoGP gossip column Andrea Iannone has admitted he ‘suffered a lot’ with doping ban and subsequent future without MotoGP, while former 250cc world champion Marco Melandri makes headlines by joking about contracting COVID-19.
Former Ducati, Suzuki and Aprilia MotoGP rider Andrea Iannone has opened up about his time away from racing following his doping ban in 2019.
Iannone appealed the two-year ban, however, it was then extended to a four-year ban by The Court of Arbitration for Sport. The Urine sample in question came at the Malaysian MotoGP which was held on the 3rd of November, therefore resulting in him being disqualified from that same race in Sepang along with the season finale at Valencia.
Iannone, who is as popular a figure off the track as he is on it in Italy, recently spoke about the struggles of dealing with that entire process, while being without MotoGP racing is a void that nothing else can fill., Iannone said:"I had already processed it over time and by the day of the verdict, I had already understood that it was certain. It wasn't pretty. It's very complex, I felt bad and I suffered a lot so it's very difficult for me to talk about that time.
Finally, former 250cc world champion, MotoGP and WorldSBK rider Marco Melandri has made headlines for all the wrong reasons., Melandri admitted to ‘voluntarily’ contracting COVID-19 in order not to proceed with having the vaccine.
